1
New cards
Degrees of freedom
which depends on how chi-square is being used.
2
New cards
The population standard deviation is 𝜎\=√2(df).

3
New cards
Population mean
μ \= df
4
New cards
Random variable
X^2
5
New cards
Squared standard normal variables
χ2 \= (Z1)^2 + (Z2)^2 + ... + (Zk)^2
6
New cards
The null and alternative hypotheses for GOF
may be written in sentences or may be stated as equations or inequalities.
7
New cards
Null hypothesis
The observed values of the data values and expected values are values you would expect to get.
8
New cards
Degrees of freedom GOF
Number of categories - 1
9
New cards
The goodness of fit is usually right-tailed

10
New cards
Large test statistic
Observed values and corresponding expected values are not close to each other.
11
New cards
Expected value rule
Needs to be above 5 to be able to use the test
12
New cards
Test of independence
Determines whether two factors are independent or not
13
New cards
The null hypothesis for independence
states that the factors are independent
14
New cards
The alternative hypothesis for independence
states that they are not independent (dependent).
15
New cards
Independence degrees of freedom
(number of columns -1)(number of rows - 1)
16
New cards
Expected value formula
(row total)(column total) / total number surveyed
17
New cards
Test for Homogeneity
used to draw a conclusion about whether two populations have the same distribution
18
New cards
Ho for Homogeneity
The distributions of the two populations are the same.
19
New cards
Ha for Homogeneity
The distributions of the two populations are not the same.
20
New cards
The test statistic for Homogeneity
Use a χ2 test statistic. It is computed in the same way as the test for independence.
21
New cards
Goodness-of-Fit
decides whether a population with an unknown distribution "fits" a known distribution.
22
New cards
Ho for GOF
The population fits the given distribution
23
New cards
Ha for GOF
The population does not fit the given distribution.
24
New cards
Independence
decides whether two variables are independent or dependent. There will be two qualitative variables and a contingency table will be constructed.
25
New cards
Ho for Independence
The two variables (factors) are independent.
26
New cards
Ha for Independence
The two variables (factors) are dependent.
27
New cards
Homogeneity
decides if two populations with unknown distributions have the same distribution as each other. There will be a single qualitative survey variable given to two different populations.
28
New cards
Ho of Homogeneity
The two populations follow the same distribution.
29
New cards
Ha of Homogeneity
The two populations have different distributions.
